Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GIGAZONE at 4.4 against Simonson's 2.0. GIGAZONE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Simonson's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GIGAZONE holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GIGAZONE has 53 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of GIGAZONE's written reviews are positive against 50% of Simonson's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GIGAZONE ships an update every 3 months, Simonson every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
